Time ExpressionsTime= 时间 =shí jiān

我们学习了什么”时间”的生词？Brainstorm!

Time Expressions下个星期 (xià ge xīngqī, next week) literally means

“the week below.” By the same token, 上个星期 (shàng ge xīngqī, last week) literally means “the week above.”

The measure word 个 can be omitted: 下个星期 =下星期 ; 上个星期 = 上星期 .

“Last/next month” is 上个月 / 下个月 (shàng ge yuè/xià ge yuè). However, we don’t say * 上月 / 下月 .

To help you remember, envision a calendar. Next week/month is below ( 下 , xià) this week/

month; last week/month is above ( 上 , shàng) this

week/month.

Time Expressions Involving Month and Week

上上个月shàng shàng ge yuè the month before last

上上 ( 个 ) 星期 shàng shàng (ge) xīngqī the week before last

上个月shàng ge yuè last month

上 ( 个 ) 星期shàng (ge) xīngqī last week

这个月zhè ge yuè this month

这 ( 个 ) 星期zhè (ge) xīngqī this week

下个月xià ge yuè next month

下 ( 个 ) 星期xià (ge) xīngqī next week

下下个月xià xià ge yuè the month after next

下下 ( 个 ) 星期xià xià (ge) xīngqī the week after next

The above expressions with 月 (yuè, month) and 星期 (xīngqī, week) form two parallel series.

“One week” is 一个星期 (yí ge xīngqī) “One week later” is 一个星期以后 (yí ge xīngqī

yǐhòu). “One month” is 一个月 (yí ge yuè), not 一月

(yīyuè, January). “One month later” is 一个月以后 (yí ge yuè

yǐhòu).

Additional Time Expressions Involving Year and Day

大前天 dàqiántiān three days ago 大前年 dàqiánnián three years ago

前天 qiántiān the day before yesterday

前年 qiánnián the year before last

明年 míngnián next year

后天 hòutiān the day after tomorrow

后年 hòunián the year after next

大后天 dàhòutiān three days from today

大后年 dàhòunián three years from now

The above expressions with 天 (tiān, day) and 年 (nián, year) form two parallel series ….

EXCEPT FOR 昨天 (zuótiān, yesterday) and 去年 (qùnián, last year).

Directional Complements

“Complement” is a word after a verb that describes it

Directional Complements

来 / 去 (lái/qù, to come/go) can serve as a directional complement after such verbs as 进 (jìn, to enter) and 回 (huí, to return).

来 (lái, to come) signifies movement toward the speaker

去 (qù, to go) signifies movement away from the speaker.

A is at home, speaking on the phone to B, who is away from home. A: Nǐ shénme

shíhou huí lai? 你什么时候回来？ When are you

coming back?

B: Wǒ liù diǎn huí qu.

我六点回去。 I’m going back at

six.

A is outside, and B is inside. A knocks on the door, and B tells A to come in.

B: 进来。 Jìn lai. Come in.

Both A and B are outside. A tells B to go inside.

A: 进去。 Jìn qu. Go in.

谢谢再见
